Please pray for my brother, he recently had Laser Eye surgery to try to improve his vision and had complications that caused blood vessels in bother eyes to burst. He has lost most of what little vision he had as a result. He really needs to get his vision back as he is a farmer and it's Harvest in a few weeks on his wheat crop. He has a large family to support as well - 8 children.

Thank you all for the prayers - please keep praying.

There has been no improvement so far on his vision as of my last update from him yesterday. I'll be calling him again tomorrow to see how he's doing.

Update as of today:

He has regained a little vision as the blood from the bleeds in his eyes reabsorbs. Still cannot see well enough to do much of anything, and harvest is fast approaching.

Please continue to pray for improvement.
